Review on FEL PRO VS 50184 Valve Gasket by Luis Nelson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good for a project, not for everyday driving

Disclaimer - I'm a Mopar fossil guy who is a niche market for those who build and service their own fleet of pre '96 Mopars because the engines from Carbed less have electronics failed and left you stranded. I remember when they were $4.99 at the local speed shop and bought a half dozen. I am also wise enough to understand that I COMPLETELY deny that those days are forever! I'm an experienced mechanic up until 1996 - I know exactly which screw goes where, I know what all 3000-5000 parts do, where it goes and how to fix it when it breaks. But BEWARE - you are listening to someone who can. I can't find that wrench or socket I used 5 seconds ago, every time I tighten it I still say many times: right, strong, left, luna and at every first attempt to wind the teflon tape wrong! $6.50 is fair for what arrived or should include enough RTV to seal it. Use plain RTV or silicone as I had to buy RTV to seal them anyway. I'm a bit disappointed with the price and the additional purchase required to install them, just a so-so purchase. I admit this may be because purchases these days are becoming more and more disappointing in quality and price. Fast processing and shipping were positive. I hope you at least laugh about it! can be checked on site. If you only have the weekend to replace them and have to drive to work on Monday, you're risking time. I will only buy them again if the price drops to around $8 and it's not for the daily driver. Okay I'm done, now I have to walk around the house for an hour to find where to put the coffee! One last thing. Life is short, may you have the best day of your life every day!

Pros
  • Replacement parts
Cons
  • Not bad
